Instruction manual
From your new KXK chip to a complete, shareable profile.

01Before you start
- Have your purchased KXK chip and its PIN slip (code and 4-digit PIN) ready. Keep your PIN private.
- Use an NFC-capable phone and an internet connection. You can set up your profile on a phone or computer.
- Prepare a square profile photo or logo, a wide banner image (about 3:1) and your contact and social links.
- Each separate profile needs its own chip. You can also link several chips (e.g. a card and a keychain) to the same profile.
02Create your account
- Select Sign in in the top menu, choose Sign up and enter your email and a password.
- Open the confirmation email and select the link, then sign in.
- Forgot your password? Select Forgot password? on the sign-in page and follow the email link.
- Always sign in with the same email — your chips and profiles belong to that account.
03Activate your chip
- Select Activate. The kxk- prefix is already filled in; type the 6 characters from your PIN slip and select Continue. Or tap the unused chip with your phone.
- Enter the 4-digit PIN.
- Choose New profile and enter your name and a profile label, or choose Link existing to make this chip open a profile you already have.
- Select Activate chip. Your first year of hosting starts today.
04Complete your profile
- Open Dashboard → Profiles and select your profile. The Profile strength bar shows what is missing.
- Details tab: name, job title, company, bio, phone, WhatsApp and email.
- Photos & links tab: upload your photo and banner, add your website and socials (TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and more).
- Select Save profile in the bottom bar. Only include information you want to share publicly.
05Style your profile
- Style tab: choose primary and accent colours, block fill, corner shape, font and background.
- Under Buttons, give each button its own look: Solid, Accent, Outline, Soft, Gradient, Shadow or Ghost.
- Extras tab: add Specials (offers), Highlights (short tags) and a price list.
- Check the Live preview, then save. Company brand locks may fix some colours and images.
06Make your first tap
- Unlock the receiving phone. On Android, switch NFC on in Settings.
- Hold your chip near the NFC reader — the top of an iPhone or the middle back of an Android — for 1–2 seconds and open the notification.
- Check your photo, details and links. The phone needs internet access to open your profile.
- Select Save contact to download a contact file and confirm saving it. Select Exchange to send visitor details to you.
07Manage chips and leads
- Dashboard → Chips lists each chip, its linked profile and its hosting paid-until date. Points to changes which profile it opens.
- Turn Lost / Deactivated on if a chip is lost; turn it off to restore it.
- Dashboard → Leads shows details visitors sent through Exchange.
- Direct VCard mode on a profile makes a tap download your contact straight away.
08Order and delivery
- Choose products in the shop. For wooden cards choose the wood and an engraving option; the price updates as you choose.
- At checkout enter your details and address and choose Locker to Locker (R60) or Locker to Door (R80) — charged once per order.
- Pay with PayFast. The order is confirmed once PayFast confirms the payment.
- Custom engraving takes 1–4 days production before dispatch. Email your logo with your order reference.
09Set up a company team
- The company dashboard unlocks after 3 or more chips are bought (a Team pack counts as 10). Enter your company name and select Create.
- Staff: select Add staff, enter the name, an unused chip code and PIN, then Create staff profile. Allow staff member to self-edit controls editing access.
- Branding: set colours, logo, banner and price list. Use the lock icon per field, or Lock all, to fix branding on every staff profile, then save.
- Cards: reassign chips with Points to or switch them to Lost / Deactivated. Leads: see all staff leads.
10Hosting and renewals
- The first year of hosting is included with every KXK product, from its activation date.
- From the second year, hosting is R20 per year per chip — three chips renew at R60.
- In Dashboard → Chips select Renew hosting · R20, or Renew all, and pay with PayFast. Paying early adds a year to your current end date.
- If hosting lapses, the chip is paused until paid. Your profile and leads are kept.
